The answer
Eight: Noah, his wife, their three sons, and the sons' three wives (Genesis 7:13). The New Testament counts them too — "eight persons" (1 Peter 3:20).
Why it’s interesting
The animals get all the attention, but the human passenger list is precise and small. Two verses in two testaments agree on the headcount.
